I have two mates who want to come after I told them about this, myself aswell. One is a member the other has joined in case you need to be. I reckon it’s a great idea even if you think you can change a tyre OK.

Do we just rock up or do we need to be put on a list ???

Sutto’s tyre changing evening 17th of June

So the idea was thrown around after the Sofala Ride how do we help / teach people to change tyres. Chris Sutto who was on the ride suggested we hold a tyre changing evening at Sutto’s so here it is

The evening will start at around 5.30pm at Sutto’s Massive Superstore located at 141 Blakie Rd Jamisontown. (Penrith)

What do you bring you ask?

– One or both of your wheels whatever you want

– Tyre levers

– Spanners for your rim locks

There will be demonstrations on how to change tyres and tubes and coaching whilst everyone has a go using there own wheel. Coaches on the night will include Sutto, Daniel, Mal, Mal5.1 and anyone else bar me :laugh:

Sutto’s will be offering on the evening Tyres, Tubes, Levers, Pumps and anything else tyre related at NEVER be repeated prices

After we are all tyre changing 6 day legends we will have some pizza and fizzy drink

Come along support this evening if its a success we maybe able to more of these sort of educational evenings

Wow what a nite, thanks to Chris Sutto, Daniel and Mal.

For those that missed the night, all riding gear was 40% there where tyres and all gear so cheap. Tiny got $90 of a pair of dry rider pants, Mal and Krusty got $30 bucks of a pair of goggles just to name a few things I saw purchased, there was a heap of gear sold.

The tyre change demonstrations where awesome thanks Sutto and Daniel did a mousse demonstration. Everyone was changing tyres, we repositioned rim locks etc it was great everyone took a lot from it.

Kat changed tyre after tyre after tyre I think she is till there changing tyres :laugh: She won a set of levers for her enthusiasm

More to come later including pics and videos

I must agree. Great night and good to meet new people. I got me a new seal saver and a bargain at that. Many Thanks to all who put this event together and yes, Kat is probably still there changing tyres.

Thanks again Gary.

[GregMember]

Did I mention Sutto put on pizza and free beers :laugh: how good was that, cheers Sutto

So the night started with massive discounts in the store, it was surreal wandering the shop like it was just opened for us, oh yeah it was :laugh: how good was that

Mal was run off his feet until Daniel stepped in and helped, here he is fitting Nexcent I think it is with boots

Kat and Tiny shopping, Tiny saved 90 bucks on a pair of pants! Kat bought a whole new pant jersey set for her to dirty up

Sutto soon got into the tyre change demos and he did a first class job I have to say, he explained and demonstrated everything so well. Krusty and Kat watch on.

Soon everybody got into it doing their own wheels and tyres. Some of the guys took advantage of the cheap prices and purchased tyres and tubes.

Here is Craig from Tee n Cee having a go

Craig also likes to look after his hands and had his own special design glove for the job. Notice the fingers cut out on only the two for fine work like starting the valve etc good thinking

Kat was a tyre changing Guru by the end she didn’t stop she did her two and the demo rim setup a few times also and was rewarded a set of her own tyre levers for her enthusiasm

Mal 5.1 was his normal helpful self he helped most and was a great coach and role model for the kids

We drilled rims and repositioned rim locks for easier tyre changing, here is Mr CEE and Mal5.1

Sutto was all over the joint helping a couple of Mr Cee’s mates our newest members

Then it was pizza and beers time, Sutto seen here when Daniel gave him the bill for the pizzas

Mal was last seen rapping in his new DC’s

Thanks again to all involved Sutto, Mal and Daniel especially. Thanks to all that made the effort to turn up I am sure your all got a bargain and more importantly some knowledge and confidence to tackle a tyre change on the trail or at home.

There is talk of some more of these sorts of nights or even a ride coach day so we will see how it goes

Cheers TB

[Mark EdwardsMember]
